halloween     Ghosts lurking{Easy DIY ghosts}

I wanted to create ghosts to greet our Halloween Party guests so I made some using old tomato cages that we had lying around.

Now, the cool think about these ghosts is they are so easy to make. All you need is an old sheet, black and white paint, old newspaper. If you want these to glow at night, wrap them with christmas lights.

For the top, see the arrow.

You need to create a head support. So, I used newspaper and just made a ball. I taped it on with duck tape so it would stay. A volleyball or basketball would work too but I just used what I had on hand. It is also good to recycle!

Now, for the sheet and eyes.

First, I put on the sheet and measured where I wanted the eyes. I marked my spot and started painting. I kept it simple and just did big black eyes.

After that dried, I was done. Throw the sheet back on the ghost and sit him where you want. I have mine on my front porch to greet our guests and at night they glow.

Easy ghost decor and free. I had all of the supplies in my home.

So ghost-tacular, So ghost fabulous and SO La-Dee-Da!
